Seat 5: Josh Evans (222,500)
Josh Evans qualified for the National Championship via an ��At-large bid�� after earning 140 points by cashing seven times for $85,142. His largest cash came in April at the New Orleans stop when he captured $54,644 for a third-place finish in the Main Event.
Evans is currently sitting to the left of our chip leader, Jonathan Poche, and the two are not strangers to one another. In fact, both final tabled the aforementioned $1,600 Main Event at Harrah��s New Orleans. Poche went on to win that event, but not before eliminating Evans in third place. In that hand, Poche shoved from the small blind, and Evans called all in for 235,000 from the big. He was working with 
, and Poche's 
was ahead with a chance at the knockout to bring the match heads up.
The 
paired both men to keep Poche in front, and the turn 
left Evans dead to five outs. The river 
wasn't one of them, and Evans was sent to the rail just shy of the gold ring. Needless to say, Evans will have revenge on his mind.
